"Everything good that has happened to me is because I am gay," Richie Jackson writes in his new book, Gay Like Me. "Everything I think, believe, crave, create, conquer comes from being gay." To be gay is cause for great celebration, one of the self-defining features of Richie Jackson's life — all of which exist in direct contrast to Jackson's son who is also gay and seems to exhibit a nonchalance toward his sexuality. His son describes being gay as not a big deal, and in that way, Gay Like Me serves as a course correction, a splash of cold water against this younger generation's face. It's a necessary reminder that despite where you live or how supportive your local community might be, LGBTQ people have not yet made enough progress that we can let our guards down.
